Free weekly Tuesday session to play classic tabletop games such as chess, Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons & Dragons at the community pub Sticks and Bones.
Tabletop Tuesdays is back at Sticks and Bones on Tuesday 29 December, a free session for anyone who wants to spend an evening with a board game. It's a drop-in night for the classics — chess, Magic: The Gathering, Dungeons & Dragons — and there's a games master on hand to help you get started if you're new to any of them.
If you haven't been, Sticks and Bones is tucked away in the corner of Hope Square. It opened last July as a community pub run by Weymouth local Shaun Davies, who saw a gap in town for a place where you could watch a movie, sit down and play board games, or indulge your inner kid with arcade games. The lounge leans hard into the fantasy theme: medieval stone walls, Lord of the Rings-themed tables and chairs, a Tolkien-looking map carved into the wood, and a disco ball hanging above. Davies runs the pub with partner Rachel Bemrose; he also runs the 3D design company Dead Walk designs and makes imaginative models for music festivals.
Tabletop Tuesdays is part of a wider weekly programme. Wednesdays are for the pub quiz, Thursday nights have a board game tournament, Mondays are 'Mystery Movie Monday', and live music takes over on Fridays and weekends. The team is also planning escape rooms, starting with a pirate-themed one called 'The Legend of Captain Bones'.
Every week we pick 🏆 the 5 best 🏆 things to do in Weymouth and send them to your inbox. Just one weekly email, no spam.

The session is free for everyone, so you can just turn up with your own games or join in with what's on the table. It's on Tuesday 29 December at Sticks and Bones in Hope Square.
